For a truly custom-installed appearance, our Architectural Ceiling Element (ACE) Series includes micro-flanged grilles with a very thin trim line, about .15". The ACE Series comes in every price point, from our very lowest like the ACE400 you see here. Sold in pairs, this is a great speaker for large areas where you need a lot of speakers but don’t have an endless budget. This speaker is rated at 60W with a 3" woofer, so it's best for background music; however, in spite of the low price, customers often compliment us on the very solid sound the ACE400 in-ceiling speaker provides.
Do I need special cable for in-ceiling speakers?
Wiring is not included with in-ceiling speakers so you will have to purchase some. While wiring requirements will depend on your local building codes, OSD Audio offers CL3/FT4 cable that is UL (fire) rated for all residential and most commercial in-wall and in-ceiling applications. (The exception is you cannot run this cable in heating or cooling ducts in commercial applications.) This cable includes a heavy-duty outer jacket approved for in-wall/in-ceiling installation. The high quality plastic jacket is also very flexible so it's easy to run the wires inside the wall.
For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.

No complaint whatsoever. Exceeded expectations. - Joe
Great little speakers that pack a great sound into my little workout area in the basement. I used a self-impeadance matching volume control in line with these guys so I can control the volume on a nearby wall. Works great to have some tunes in the basement without having to blast everyone out upstairs. - Brett
Bought two sets.
Perfect for outdoor spaces, you'll never have to speak over the music while hanging around pool side.
Great add edition for the bathroom and hallway.
At the beginning I thought I was going to need 10 watt channels to power these babies. I hooked them on to a Sony CMT-LX20i iPod Dock Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System which are 2 watts a channel and it did the job.
Don't expect the sound quality to be of a $400 dollar speakers, but if you have it hook up to a receiver man o man, they handle there own just supply your own sub-woofer for bass and your good(like a fat kid eating chocolate cake). - E
If mounting in ceiling tiles, use a dry wall saw and start in the middle. Other than that, follow the line after marking with the included template. Have no complaints. This is the 2nd batch I have installed in offices. Can't be beat for the money. - Flyboy
GREAT SOUND FOR SUCH SMALL SPEAKERS.
INSTALLATION WAS SIMPLE. - BAGAK
Nice value I believe. The speakers are very nice looking, sound nice, came fast and affordable. What else can you ask for? Would buy again especially if incentives were thrown out there. - Randall
I have one pair of these in our kitchen. They are running through in wall volume control. They sound amazing and are easy to install. I have recommended these speakers and will continue to do so. Best value in speakers I've found. - Dom
